Replacing the Sensors
You need the following materials for this task:
• Appropriate sensor
• Appropriate sensor fill solution
• Reference sensor replacement kit
•Hex tool
• Lint-free tissue
Preparing the Sensors
• Equilibrate new Glucose and Lactate biosensors at room temperature
(18° to 25°C) for at least 1 hour before installing.
• Keep the biosensors in their foil packages while they are equilibrating.
BIOHAZARD: Wear personal protective equipment. Use universal precautions.
Refer to Appendix A, Protecting Yourself from Biohazards for recommended
